Welcome to the Automata Blog!

I originally made a touristy billboard for the railway by taking a photo of the waterfront, putting it behind glass and smearing silicone everywhere to seal it. It lasted about 2 months! So much for my waterproofing skills.

Pictured above the replacement was installed this weekend. This time I hand painted the scene and lettering and applied multiple coats of varnish. I'll see how long this version lasts. I like the nighttime look of a billboard on the railway when the sign is lit.
